Fine choice of processor, and you can overclock it. Yes I believe it does come with thermal paste.

It has paste already applied on one side. If I remember correct there is a tab you peel off before you clamp the processor down.

Yes it come with the heatsink fan, but not 100% sure about the thermal paste.

Yes, all Intel chips have thermal paste already applied to the heatsink. After you install the CPU, just place the heatsink on the CPU. No need to apply additional paste.

Yes. It comes with a Cooler Master heat sink / fan combo that has a few heat pipes and thermal compound pre-applied. With the stock heat sink my CPU temp (at 4.2 GHz) at idle is only 34 C and so far has only gotten up to 45 C when gaming.

It comes with a heatsink/fan with thermal paste already on it. Just place the fan assembly on top of the microprocessor and hook the 4 hold owns to your motherboard.

It does not come with thermal paste. I recommend a diamond compound such as Antec Formula 7 Nano Diamond Compound.

Yes. However you have to make a request or email after placing order to get thermal paste. thanks....Mega Micro Devices Inc.

Yes it comes with the stock cooler and generic thermal paste. I however wiped off the thermal paste that came with it and then used a BB sized dot of arctic silver thermal paste. It is able to handle the load I put on it with 2 ATI RADEON HD 5850 cross fired using the stock cooler. Very impressed with it so far.

Yes it comes with thermal paste no it isn't pre-applied. Anyhow arctic silver does a much better job than the stock cooler master paste. Not surprising since it's thrown in for free.

The thermal paste is pre-applied to the included heat sink and fan. If you are going to use a different cooling solution, you may need your own paste.

Yes, it comes with a small tube. It appears to be pretty good quality. I actually found it to be enough thermal paste for many applications after my main cooler install as well.

Yes, the thermal paste is a patch approximately 1 inch square and works very well to help keep the CPU cool.

Yes, but it looks kinda cheap. I ended up using it anyway. It came with thermal gel pre applied. Seems to be working ok so far.

Its preapplied. I was about to apply thermal paste i bought from best buy when i realized there was already some on it.

Yes, it does. This processor comes with heatsink and pre-applied thermal paste

Yes its called thermal paste. Arctic Silver is a good one. Not too much though... you don't want it spilling out over sides, just a nice even layer.

Yes it comes with a heat sink & fan. They are adequate for normal use. However if you intend to overclock I would recommend an upgrade to at least a heat-pipe type of cpu cooler.
